Where In the Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? - September 19, 2012

It's been another one of those cray cray weeks y'all! After Rice Fest is pau, hopefully things will get a little more back to normal. But until then, we've got another one pic week.... We'll try to make it easy this time so we can get a skosh more than 13 comments. 😛

For this week's "Spotted", we have another video of a little SkinnyHawaiians silliness involving everyone's favorite drink: Green River. A few months ago, I posed a question out to y'all about where the BIL can find some Green River in Hawaii these days. After researching that, I actually tried to make it on my own and suddenly became an expert at it. 😛 Here's how that turned out...

* My two new colorways are FINALLY in! Gray/Green for the new football season and Blue/Pink (partially for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure walk)! Both are selling like hotcakes so far, especially the Gray/Green one!

* Speaking of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, my friend Shari continues to sell products and get mad donations for her team: Team VH07V! As of this writing, her team is up to $625 in donations and is at 63% of her $1,000 goal. Help them reach that goal by clicking on that link and making your tax deductible donation! I will also personally donate proceeds from the sale of the Blue/Pink VH07V shirts during this drive right back to Shari and her team. If you'd like to join her team and walk, click on this link.

* Last week's tailgating kine action prior to the Hawaii Warriors vs. Lamar Cardinals game was a great success. Did you guys go? Got to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a long time and have a few before the game. Even got a good seat to catch a glimpse of the first ever Warrior Walk, a tradition that coach Norm Chow instituted this year where the players and coaches walk through the crowd before heading towards the stadium. Here's some footage I was able to catch of the first ever Warrior Walk:

* As one of the sponsors for this year's Rice Fest (duh!), VH07V will be responsible for producing both the official Rice Fest shirt (for sale at the event at the VH07V booth) and the shirt for all volunteers. Check out this sample for our volunteers. Pretty legit right? 🙂

09/22/12: University of Hawaii Football game - Will likely be tailgating near or along the main walkway leading up to Aloha Stadium prior to the 4:30pm game vs. Nevada. Stop by and say hi.
